Volatile Organic Compounds Produced by Bacillus velezensis CT32 Attenuate Botrytis cinerea Pathogenicity by Impairing Autophagy
Gray mold, caused by Botrytis cinerea, is the predominant fungal disease responsible for postharvest losses in strawberries. Here, we show that volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released by Bacillus velezensis CT32 significantly inhibited B. cinerea mycelial growth and attenuated its pathogenicity on strawberry fruit,...
